Artist Gabriel Kuri Advocates for Huevos Rancheros as a Human Right in ArtReview

In October 2019, artist Gabriel Kuri published a piece in ArtReview, humorously championing huevos rancheros as a fundamental human right, alongside freedom, dignity, justice, and clean drinking water. He describes the dish as consisting of two sunny-side-up eggs on warm, lightly oiled corn tortillas, topped generously with salsa. Kuri emphasizes that warm corn tortillas should always be available for scooping, rejecting wheat flour tortillas. He also shares his preference for black refried beans that are slightly runny, noting that adding epazote leaves enhances the mush, and accepts canned beans as suitable in northern countries. The article frames the culinary experience as a basic entitlement, using it to comment on broader human needs through a personal, artistic lens.
